New Freight Boats
FOR SALE.

We take pleasure IN recommending
our boats, as their construction Is the
result Of years of study and labor in
building, and handling boats around
our various island landings. We claim
these boats to be superior for island use
to others (either built here or imported)
in 'everl essential points, and we are
supper edin this opinion by those who
have usedthem, as we'll as by others who
are qualified to Judge. They are built for
use and durability, and not with the
view Of having the benefit of future re-
pairs. We use no cross grained and
useless Monkey Pod knees, limbers, or
floors, nor straight wood stems Our
frames are all o K bent across without
joint on the keel, aud of size, larger
than usual in other boats, they are also
CLOSER tog ,ther, and double rivited TO
the keel, with additional floors between.
We have applied both strain and blows
to these steam bent timbers and find
that they are equivalent to the so called
solid floors of twice the size, and are
consequently less liable to be severely
bilged, and are easier repaired when it
occurs. The gunwales are of Oak, and
with the outside planking are invariably
In one plank from stern to stem. The
hosting strap does not go through the
keel, cutting 1t away at vital point,
but toggled under screw-bolt fastened
dead wood, and hinged above so as to
accommodate the span of hoist. The
timbers are not cut away for water runs,
our timbers are in the keel. We have
also solid wide iron plate on the keel
and stems of the boat which have secur-
ed for these boats their well deserved
reputation for superior build. The
model also compares favorably with
our best imported boats, carrying
their width on the thwart, and
not on the gunwale as crank boats do,
taking all the chafe and pounding
against vessels and wharf, when dis
charging. Our bent Oak knees also
carry out the requirements of the Oldest
and most experienced association known
who for 20 years have spared neither
time nor money to procure the best surf
and life boats, wherever found. During
the test of 1881, flexibility in boats, was
found to be most essential. L. can readily
be seen that the relation that our Joint
less section timbers bear to fiexibility
are sure to prevent damaging concus-
sion when struck, which cannot be
found in boats stiflly held in one place,
and lose in another. Several naval Cap
tains and Officers who have inspected
this system pronounce it great i'm
provement over the old, as preventive
from being stove in or bilged alongside
when being lowered at sea, as many
have been known to do the short floors
and timber ends lifting from the keel.
An other improvement, is that we sell
these boats for $50 less than was form
erly paid for this size boat here, and
it pays the builder and buyer better.

boats, price $3.50 to $3.50.

She was built for pleasure with safety,
to sail on her bottom, without packing
around tons of ballast. Can be rugged
and sail made in 10 minutes, and unrig-
ged in five. Price 1915.
We are also prepared to give plans
and estimates of all kinds of scows,
rowing surf or sail boats, steam laun-
ches, or schooners, in solid, bent frame,
or diagonal building. Our experience
in the latter mode dates from 1854, when
the celebrated yachts "Fox" and others
were built in that way, this vessel was
severely tried in the Arctic for years
under Sir j. McClintock, when in
search OF Sir John Franklin. This mode
of building is highly recommended
where inside finish and capacity Is an
object. We invite inspection of our
boats at the Enterprise Planning Mill,
where samples may be found.
